Craig Badura (@mrbadura) shared his digital citizenship survival kit in a blog post, and graciously allowed me to create a Haiku Deck entirely borrowed from it!  Here's a link to the post:

Thanks to Jamie Forshey for sharing this copyright teaching resource via her scoop.it curation page.  I will be sharing this with my elementary and pre-service teachers. 

Nice simple interactive to help explain copyright to kids. 

Teach your students about copyright laws.

"we should worry about search engines becoming the arbiters of truth." De l'importance de comprendre comment on accède à l'information et de reprendre la main.

People who use Google are given the impression that they are interacting with the data out there, but they are actually interacting with Google and its view of the world.

"They are prediction engines that constantly refine a theory about who you are and what you are going to do or want next. Together, they create an universe of data for each one of us."

"In a 2010 paper published in the Scientific American journal, Tim Berners-Lee warned about companies developing ever more “closed” products and “data islands”.

"Morville, in his book Search Patterns, says that the first and second results receive 80% of attention. The vertical approach suggests to the user the idea of a single result that fully answers the question, enclosing possibilities and preventing alternative realization."

Or in other words, is our acceptance of what we see in search results eroding our ability (or willingness) to consider alternatives and employ critical thinking?

My favorite statement, "we must always be aware and well informed about the intentions of companies, and never stop having multiple options for any service."

This article was an eye opener for me. I had never questioned Google before.

Unethical lack of inspiration there.. 

neat idea

Understanding your audience is critical!

These questions should guide the professional growth of school librarians (new and experienced) and frame the ongoing quest to improve school library programs.
